Head, LPU School of Chemical Engineering & Physical Sciences and School of Research Degree Programmes, Prof Dr Ramesh Thakur (who is looking after the whole affairs of the camp) informed that LPU teachers are touching the important topics from diverse science-fields. The physics instructors are informing students about how electronics, magnetism, sound, light are having effective roles in daily life; biology teachers about the function of different body organs; Chemistry trainers showing the importance of chemical reactions practically; and so on. On their turn, rural students are grasping well about these and related topics of common interest. LPU Chancellor Mr Ashok Mittal encouraged hard-working faculty members and volunteer students to continue such CSR activities in future as well.
